1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Background: Multi-drug resistance is an important challenge in the chemotherapy of cancer. The role of annexin A5 (ANXA5) in the biology of cancer has been the focus of many studies. Breast Cancer (BC) is frequent cancer in women with high morbidity and mortality rate. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of ANXA5 overexpression on the anti-tumor activity of Epirubicin (EPI) in MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADR cells. Methods: MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADR cells were transfected with the pAdenoVator-CMV-ANXA5-IRES-GFP plasmid or mock plasmid. The overexpression of ANXA5 was evaluated using qPCR. The effects of ANXA5 overexpression and EPI on the cell viability of MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADR cells were measured using an MTT assay. Cell apoptosis was measured by annexin V/7-AAD flow cytometry assay. Results: Following the overexpression of ANXA5, the viability of MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADR was significantly decreased. Furthermore, the overexpression of ANXA5 in MCF-7 cells increased the cytotoxic effects of EPI in all doses and reduced the IC50 of EPI from 17.69 Conclusion: The results of the present study demonstrate that ANXA5 overexpression increases the sensitivity of MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADR to EPI, suggesting a possible beneficial role of ANXA5 in the therapy of BC.
